Small windows of light passed over her phone screen as her train sped down the railway. The engines hissed and clicked with the effort, somehow accomplishing a calming melody as the sound repeated itself. The train was quiet, typical of a Wednesday afternoon.

"Heroes, they call them. Why doesn't the government just say what they are? Why not tell the truth? They're terrorists, freaks, illegal aliens! Why hasn't the government dealt with this? Because they saved the Earth one year ago?"

The girl frowned as she turned up the volume on her phone, watching her screen intently.

A girl with long dark, wavy hair attacked her turkey leg as she watched the television screen from her place in the cafe. There weren't many people who could make her so mad, but G. Gordon Godfrey was a man of exceptional talent in that category.

"Oh yes, I'm talking about the Darkseid attack. Last year, when the amazing 'Justice League' was created. The world hailed them as heroes! Well, what do you think of your heroes now? Since they've revealed themselves, the number of so-called supervillains has increased exponentially! Hundreds have died as a cost from what blind followers hail as the Age of the Superhuman."

Several men shouted in fright as a green cage built around them, imprisoning them within it's walls. A young green lantern turned away from them, her long ponytail swishing with the movement. The men were part of a crime syndicate, one she had just taken down.

She turned her head as the television they had been watching before she ambushed them took her attention.

"What separates this 'good-doing' Justice League from the bad guys. Who's to say Superman won't turn on us? What's stopping these false heroes from doing whatever they want? It's about time the government did something! I, for one, and am overjoyed with the announcement that they plan to hold a summit on what to do with these superhuman loonies. I say kick them out. Send them back where they came from or better yet, get rid of them."

She clenched her fists and glared at the television.

"Only those who are blind can not see them for what they really are. Murderers! Do you not remember the Darkseid attack? How many lives they were responsible for taking by their careless attacks? Or should I remind you of the other incidents as well? It seems to me that every time a self-righteous hero has any confrontation, someone ends up dead in the aftermath."

A girl in a Japanese school uniform watched the television silently. Her classmates passed around her uncaringly, not understanding what he was saying. She looked to her English teacher and found him watching with the same distasteful expression she had. She looked back, her long braid falling from over her shoulder.

A boy of sixteen sighed as his older brother changed the channel to GBS. The elder always seemed to resent him for his powers since he came out as a super. His family had welcomed the change, but his brother became cold. This wasn't the first time he'd passively bully him in their own house.

"It's about time the government regulate what they do. I've been saying it for years, folks. Superheroes aren't the saviors of our world. They're a plague."

Her father hadn't heard her come down the stairs. She sat against the wall just opposite of the living room. Her father sat inside watching the news. He never watched it with her. He was too scared to let her hear what the world thought of her.

"You don't need any bloody superpower to know the future. I'll tell you right now, if we don't wipe their species off the face of this Earth, it will be the end of us. It is them or us! Open your eyes, people! It's about time we erase them from the face of this Earth."

A/N:

Hello everyone, thank you for reading my story! I know this intro is short and choppy. I meant it to be. It's more a get-a-feel-of-the-story than a chapter. I swear I'm a good writer and would really appreciate if you gave my story a chance! Read the next chapter for a real sense of what's going down! Alternatively, I'd love some advice for my intro or any of my other chapters!

Here's some background for my story: (updated Jun. 08). The story takes place a year after Darkseid. I'm using Justice League: War as my foundation for this story. The events of Young Justice haven't happened yet and I'm leading up to it.

My story is also meant to have a darker tone, and I thought Gordon Godfrey would be a good way to introduce that. I'm modeling him after the Voice of London from V for Vendetta too. You may have noticed some characters are placed in Japan. My story will follow two plot lines between America and Japan. The American line will be more canon while the Japan storyline will be exploring society without public heroes.

The characters here are some of the OCs I've received up until now. Not all of them had been introduced yet.

Still accepting OCs! If you're sending a PM, please include the name of your OC in the title.
